Today we had a party to celebrate the residency by Robinson Stirling and women from Rainbow Hearts Women Asylum Seekers Group showing the clothes, experiences, cushions, bags and giant banner made

And although we are sad to leave 105 we have formed from this 105 Women and will be going to Wharf Chambers on January 20th 2016 and February 10th for making days to continue this open opportunity and then through March at Leeds Central Library Artspace

Liz: When I was away at artist educator week which was amazing I found out
that students in New York are having sit ins , as are students in
Amsterdam at the Rietveld and I knew students have been in London at
University of the Arts London at St Martins. So the media won't talk
about it but it needs to be known to spread the word the action the
solidarity

Michel Thomas
1914- 2005 was a polyglot linguist. He developed a way of teaching
languages quickly. In his earlier life he survived imprisonment in
several different Nazi concentration camps

With Thomas's method, the teacher cautions students to avoid making
notes and to refrain from making conscious attempts to memorise,
promising that the teacher will "be taking full responsibility" for
their learning. Thomas stated that keeping the students relaxed,
focused, and stretched with a feeling of mounting successful achievement
lies at the heart of the method. The removal of the stress and anxiety
of "being put on the spot" of conventional language learning, especially
school language learning, is a key advantage of the method.

"a
heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breasts,
her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so
swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was
lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left.”...

The
laurel became sacred to Apollo, and crowned the victors at the
Pythian Games.

Most
artistic impressions of the myth focus on the moment of
transformation.

Pruning is an essential gardening skill. When you prune
correctly, you encourage healthy growth and flowering (in the case of
flowering plants), as well as good looks. For most shrubs and trees, it
helps to prune at the right time. Some are best pruned in winter; some right after flowering.
